The first spring training game always gets those warm and fuzzy summer baseball thoughts flowing through your body. Couple those typical warm and fuzzy thoughts with the fact that Roy Halladay will pitch in his first game in a Phillies uniform against the defending World Champion Yankees and their ace CC Sabathia and it could pretty much the most anticipated spring training game we Phillies fans will ever watch.
As much as I'm looking forward to seeing the Phillies take the field in HD on my TV this afternoon, I'm also looking forward to hearing those familiar voices calling balls and strikes.
